History

The Bridle Path was a little bit more than just farmland up until 1929, the time that the Bayview Bridge was constructed across the steep West Branch of the Don River Valley. A Toronto-based land developer named Forsey Page visualized the Bridle Path as an "exclusive enclave of estate homes." He constructed the neighbourhood's first house, a Cape Cod Colonial style home located at 2 The Bridle Path. This home is attributed as the means for the development of the community.

In 1937, the land developer who designed the Don Mills community, E.P. Taylor, bought a huge plot of land north of the Bridle Path. The estate was named Windfields by his wife is now in use by the Canadian Film Centre. The park through which Wilket Creek streams behind this piece of land is known as Windfields Park.
